The next morning, the Ming tries to wake up the old man, but he's too tired to do so. He tells the Ming that he'll lock him up forever, even if the Ming is dead. The Ming tells him that he can kill him as he wants, but that he won't be able to touch him. The old man says that he doesn't know what happened that year, and that it's hard to know what to make of it now. He gives the Ming the name of his second son, which means that the Ming must have been very happy with the birth of the child. He says that his father might have made some mistakes in the past, and he suggests that he should come to him when the Ming comes back to the camp.
